About this property

Enjoy home away from home at the top of VT...Get away to the Jay Way Chalet!

Please feel free to inquire about additional guests and pets!

Enjoy your Vermont getaway at one of the original "Matterhorn Village" chalets! Take advantage of both traditional charm and modern updates located two minutes from Boutin's Mini Market (best beer and pizza in the area), five minutes from the Jay Country Store/Base Camp and Jay Village Inn, and a ten minute drive from the Stateside Base area parking lot. Enjoy all of this from your main (paved!) road location in Jay, providing easy in and out access to the property.

The Jay Way Chalet is spread over 2200 square feet of living space on two levels that can comfortably accommodate 11 individuals. A large entry way provides plenty of storage for boots, skis, bags, and coats; drop your belongings, and get settled in! Cozy up in the living room next to the pellet stove after a long day of skiing, or - for those with extra energy - launch into a competitive game of Foosball (Tornado Table), or Pop-a-Shot basketball, or test your mixologist skills at the wet bar. With two separate living areas, both equipped with large TVs (both with XFinity Cable), kids and adults alike can find a space to relax and unwind. For those who don't ski, or are skiied out, the nook upstairs also allows for catching the best of the day's rays. If you do find yourself having to catch up with the real world - high speed Comcast, a dedicated land line, 24" monitor, and wireless keyboard and mouse hookups allow you to drop your laptop and get some work done (sometimes a necessary evil!)

While we highly recommend an evening out at Base Camp or the Jay Village Inn, or picking up pizza and a growler from Boutin's, you also have the option to take advantage of a well-equipped kitchen to make a meal (or at the very least, prep your lunch or coffee before a day on the slopes). Features include new appliances in 2019, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, hand mixer, and all pots, pans, and utensils necessary to make a meal; in addition to basic condiments.

Four bedrooms, and three bathrooms (two renovated in 2019) allow for plenty of space for relaxation and rejuvenation. All bedrooms have ample storage space, memory foam or pillow top mattresses, plenty of spare linens and blankets, and space heaters and fans for added comfort during your stay. Both queen bedrooms also feature televisions that are smart enabled (please just remember to log out of your accounts before you check out). Bathrooms are equipped with plush towels and heated vents to encourage lingering in the steam!

A wonderful escape
Our family and friends had an amazing ski vacation at this cozy chalet! The living area was perfect for gatherings and the bedrooms were comfortable. The location was convenient, and the owner was incredibly accommodating. Highly recommended for a memorable mountain getaway!

Winter in Jay
We have a great visit. The house was beautiful and Liz was very helpful. We all enjoyed skiing at Jay Peak which was only 10 minutes from the house. Highly recommend!

Jay Stay
Our group went up for a ski week at Jay Peak. Although we did not have the snow we had hoped for, our stay at the Jay Way Chalet was perfect! Our hosts Liz and Ryan were super hospitable, easy to communicate with and the place was amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Bierwirth

Host profile image
Ryan and Liz purchased what we now lovingly refer to as the "Jay Way Chalet" in 2017 after realizing how much money they spent booking last minute trips to stay (and eat, and drink) at the Jay Village Inn. While they thoroughly recommend a meal and a margarita at the JVI, they realized they were going broke on said margaritas and decided to invest in a piece of their own VT Paradise.

Four years later, Ryan and Liz (and new addition, baby Tucker) have made the move from the South Coast of MA to Vermont full-time, and look forward to hosting you and your guests from a much closer locale! We're here to make your Jay area experience as enjoyable as possible!

Why they chose this property

Ryan's New Years Resolution for 2017 was to own a house in Vermont by New Year's 2018 (dream big, right??) Liz was in the middle of planning their wedding (conveniently in Mid-January 2018 at Jay Peak), and trying to take grad school classes, and getting progressively more stressed while Ryan was dreaming big and bombarding her with listings.

This house was the first house that Ryan & Liz looked at, but boy did it need some work (we can share before photos with anyone who's got extreme curiosity). Liz said, I love the character, but no way. Multiple showings and one failed offer later, the price on the Jay Way Chalet had dropped to the point where another look was warranted. Six weeks later, we were closing on our piece of VT Paradise.

Four years and 87 projects later, we can't imagine having made any other choice.

What makes this property unique

Your hosts are local, meaning if you have questions, issues, or special requests, we're just a stone's throw away by Northern Vermont standards - in Derby, so also conveniently located to shops (we love Jay, but it can be challenging to run out and grab a replacement for something you forgot). We're also both avid skiers/snowboarders, as well as golfers, hikers, and bikers. Depending on the season you're joining us for, we're full of recommendations for how to keep busy/where to explore!

In addition, the house is located on one of the main roads in Jay (there are 3 paved roads in town), meaning you'll be able to get out of the house and to the mountain with ease (though in the winter, we do recommend snow tires/All Wheel Drive). In addition, the driveway is large enough for parking for multiple care (4-8, depending on how you park!). While being slope-side definitely has its benefits, condo parking for 2 cars with a large group can be a challenge!
